System Requirements

Here are the technical specifications for Toon Boom Harmony 11.1.

Harmony Network

Toon Boom Harmony Network is a server-client configuration. The server stores all the assets, and holds the database. The client machines simply run the software and allow the members of your team to work on Harmony and access the assets directly from the database.

Note that an Internet connection is required to activate the animation software.

Before installing Harmony, refer to the Harmony and Your IT Department white paper to learn about the network prerequisites for a Toon Boom Harmony installation. This document should be taken as a guide to help you understand the preliminary steps before performing a typical Harmony installation.

There are multiple ways of installing Harmony, as well as numerous types of hardware that can work with Harmony. To perform a custom installation which fits the studio’s requirements, a proper analysis of the studio is required, such as: the type of project, the productivity expected, and the delivery date, etc. If you are not yet familiar with Harmony, you should get in touch with your sales contact at Toon Boom to organize a needs analysis of your studio and production in order to make the best of Harmony and optimize your production pipeline.

The person who performs the installation should have the knowledge and expertise required for setting up and configuring networks, computers, and operating systems. If you do not have an IT department or someone who knows the network technology thoroughly, contact your sales representative at Toon Boom to organize an installation with our consulting department.
